Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Architectural asphalt shingles are the smart choice for most Michigan and Ohio homes — 25 to lifetime warranties, 110+ mph wind ratings, dozens of color options, and the best value per year of protection.
Not all asphalt roofs are equal
Cheap 3-tab shingles fail in 12–15 years. Poorly installed architectural shingles fail almost as fast. What matters is the shingle tier, the underlayment, and the crew doing the work.
- Builder-grade 3-tab shingles failing after 15 years
- Overlaid roofs that trap heat and shorten life
- Missing ice & water shield at the eaves
- Nailed too high — voids manufacturer warranty
- Inadequate attic ventilation cooking the shingles from below
- Cheap synthetic underlayments that tear during install
